The Weakness of an Airhead

[{Lunarstar}]

Adder jumped onto an old twoleg fence. It wobbled a little but he sat down anyway. To keep his butt on he had to dig his front claws into the old wood. Adder hated the loner and rouge territories, greatly preferring the company of ghosts. Well, scratch that. He hated the male loners and rouges, he had no complaints with the she-cats. Not complaints at all. (OOC: hint, hint!)

Adder sighed, he liked the territory, but he wasn't too fond of the ghosts. They gave him the creeps, not that he'd let anyone know. He just hated their visible wounds and their hobby of popping up out of nowhere. That's why he hated the Fog Lake. He couldn't distinguish ghost from fog.

All of the thoughts about ghosts sent a chill up Adder's spine and he shivered. Green eyes watching the territory fearfully.

A blue-gray she-cat walked stealthily next to the Fence Wall. She was padding slowly, when suddenly, she sensed something. Something that wasn't a ghost but was in ghost territory. Hibiscus' fur puffed up in anger. But she made it lay flat so she wouldn't be seen. She jumped up onto the wall, and padded towards the male. She stared at him with her violet eyes and said, "Who are you and why are you in ghost territory?"

(OOC: Hibiscus possesive is Hibiscus's. I've looked it up in books when doing Sicarius's. Otherwise it's like your saying Hibsicus' stems. Sorry, grammar and punctuation freak!)

Adder nearly jumped out of his fur when a voice suddenly spoke. He looked wildly to the speaker and almost had a heart attack. Great, a ghost. He stared at her violet eyes, trying to calm his racing heart, until he remembered she'd asked a question.

"I--uh, um--I j-just wanted a break from th-the cats in the Loner's territory...." He stammered, heart still beating as frantically as a wild bird of prey locked in a cage.

[*Beechstar*]

Hibiscus almost started rolling on the ground laughing, but held it back. She did let out a mrrow of laugter though. "Hi! What's your name?" She figured she probably should have said that first. She then realized she had scared the loner and not on purpose. "Sorry if I scared you; I didn't mean to." She smiled, waiting for an answer.

OOC: Sorry so short.

[{Lunarstar}]

Adder's heart slowly began to beat normally and he managed to look at her pale form without wanting to shriek. "Hi..." he said slowly, not too sure why a ghost was talking to him. "Adder. And yours would be?" He asked, calming down just a little bit more. He then paid attention to how she actually looked. Of course she was transparent, but her fur was a blue-grayish color. He had already noticed the violet eyes, those really stuck out.

OOC: Most of the post Adder's face is like this: o.0. Then towards the end it's like this: 0-0' The ' is like a drop of sweat btw!) )

[*Beechstar*]

"Hi Adder! I'm Hibiscus!" She layed down, getting tired of standing for so long. She sighed, but it wasn't a sad sigh. More of a relaxed sigh. "So why did you want to get away from the other loners? Are they crazy," she asked in an astonished tone.

OOC: Sorry so short... i'm low on muse today...

[{Lunarstar}]

Hibiscus's last comment got Adder's attention. He realized something, this ghost was crazy. To actually ask if loners are crazy...that -- that was just insane! Adder regained his normal composure, too cool to care and he narrowed his eyes a little bfore answering. "No, they aren't. I suggest you never call a loner crazy. If you were living or solified your self for one momment you'd lose at least an ear." Then he looked at her nonchalantly and said, "I just don't like them. I like the she-cats just fine, but the males... well let's just say I've had one too many tussels with those cats."

[*Beechstar*]

Hibiscus snorted. "They don't scare me. I'm a ghost; nothing can harm me permanently. Any wound would just heal." She rolled over and scratched her back on the wall. "So what caused you to get in all those fights with other loners?" She looked at him expectantly and then said, "you don't have to tell me if you don't want."

OOC: MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[{Lunarstar}]

"Well...once I fought off some bastard when he tried to take mygirl, another the time I tried to take his girl. Sometimes they fight to fight. Like one time some idiot came out of nowhere and started tryin' to take my ear off! So I took part of his tail as a souvenier. Others fight for food, it's definitely a cat-eat-cat world out there. Survival of the toughest." Adder answered, for a while forgetting she was a ghost. These were the stories he told all the she-cats...true or not.

[*Beechstar*]

Hibiscus meowed, "that's stupid. Why would you try to take someone else's mate if you already had one?! That's stupid." She looked at Adder. "So you had a mate and kits?" She would be sad if he did, but not let it show. He was handsome, and she kinda liked him, even though they just met.

[{Lunarstar}]

"Oh, no. Barely any loners have actual mates. We're with a cat for a while, then if a better one comes along we switch. So, no, I don't have a mate. Can ghosts have mates?" Adder asked, realizing that now that he'd met one, he had so many questions to ask.

OOC: Sorry, short! Yes he'll like her, but not right at this momment!

[*Beechstar*]

Hibiscus thought for a moment before answering. "Not that I know of. The only ghosts are Shrill, Twig, Owl, Soul, and me. Shrill, Twig, and Owl are brothers and sister, and Soul was only a kitten when she was murdered. And I don't have one." She was sad that she didn't have a mate, but wouldn't let it show. "How long has it been since you've had a 'mate'?"

[{Lunarstar}]

OOC: Made up some loners!

"Oh, now, let's see. Well...there was Petunia a few moons ago, horrible little thing, Star about a moon ago...So Star, last moon." Adder answered, thinking about the ghosts. He'd always though there were many more.

[*Beechstar*]

Hibiscus nodded. She was surprised that he could just go from she-cat to she-cat. If they were every in a relationship, which she didn't think would happen, she wondered if he would leave her like that. In response, she just meowed a slight, "Oh." She sat up, suddenly feeling restless.

[{Lunarstar}]

"Yeah. Sadly, most of the loners are settling down, it being spring and all. They're all looking for kits to continue their family line to the next generation." Adder meowed, wondering about that. He knew he should get his blood into some kits sooner or later. He just shrugged inwardly, if not this generation of kits, the next.
